| "Through partnership with the community..." |
This is the most important part of the mission statement of the Hillsboro Police. Without citizen participation the department cannot effectively serve its citizens. Crime prevention is a "hands on" process -- whether it be through building relationships with seniors at our annual Valentine's Dance, or through our many outreach functions outlined below. It is all about people -- you and your police department.
